vention resides in the provision of a means for revolvably mounting the frame on the base so as to prevent sagging and yet allow 10 the frame to be revolved with great ease.

A still further very important object of the invention resides in the provision of an apparatus of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, inexpensive 15 to manufacture, strong and durable, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use and operation, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which'itis designed.

WVith the above and numerous otherobjects in View as will appear as the descrip tion proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of the apparatus embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is another elevation thereof taken at right angles to that shown in Figure 1, and Figure 8 is an enlarged 'detailsection taken substantiallyon the line 33 of Figure 1. Referring to the details of the drawings,

it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes arectangular frame having a longitudinal dimension disposed vertically and provided on both edges thereof with spacing boards 6 to simulate a window frame from both sides and the top spacing boards have curtain brackets 7 mounted thereon so that the curtains 8 may be draped in the usual well known manner for display purposes.

A cross bar 9 is mounted in the frame intermediate the upper and lower ends thereof and a longitudinal vertical bar 10 extends from the top to the bottom of the frame through the center of the cross bar 9. The wheeled base structure comprises a pair of spaced co-extensive parallel bars 11, mounted at their ends on casters 12, and a cross bar 1929. Serial No. 355,774..

1a is supported-between the central portions 1 of the bars 11. A plate is secured to'the bottom of the frame 5 to engage a similar plate 16 fixed to the top of the bar 14. -A

rod17 extends through the center of the bar I 1 1- through the surface of'the plates 15 and 16 and thennpthrough the bottom of the frame 5 and up through the vertical bar 10 a distance past the cross bar 9.

' A plate 18 is threaded on the lower extreni- I ity of the rod 17 and is secured to the bottom of the base cross bar 14; "Thus it will beseen that this rod prevents sagging of the frame but allows the frame to be easily revolved on the wheeled base structure.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art,

without a more detailed description thereof; The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in considerable detail merely'for the purposes of exempliiicati'on, since n actual practlce 1t attains the/features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description. 7

It'is apparent that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to,

without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thusdescribed my inventiomwhat I claim as new is:

1. An apparatus of the class described comprisinga base including a pair of spaced parallel coextensive bars, casters fixed to and supporting the extremities of the bars, a cross bar between the surface of the first mentioned bars, and a frame, and meansforrev- P olubly mounting the frame on the last mentioned bar, said frame having a vertical bar therein, said means for revolubly mounting the frame comprising a rod extending through the cross bar of the base, through the bottom of the frame, and through the major portion of the vertical bar.

2. An apparatus of the class described comprising a base including a pair of spaced parallel coextensive bars, casters fixed to and supporting the'extremities of the bars,"a cross bar between the surface of the first-mam. tioned' bars, and a frame,vand means for ,revolubly mounting the frame on the last mentioned bar,"said'fra'me having a vertical bar therein; said means for revolubly mountingthe frame comprising'a rod extendingthrough thecross bar; of thebase, through the bottonr of the frame, 2 and,

- through the majr portion of" the vertical bar, a platefixed at theibottoiri 'of the frame, i and a plate fixed to the top of the cross base bar and a rod extending through said" p1ate. b

3. An apparatus of the class described comprising a base including a pair of spaced parallel coextensive bars,fcasters fixed to and V supporting the extremities ofgthebars, a cross bar betweenthe surface of the first men! tioned bars, and aj frame, and means for re olub'ly' mounting the frame on the last mentioned bar, said frame haying a vertical 7 bar therein5saidmeans for revolubly mount ing'the frame comprising a rod extending '3 through thecross bar of the-base,- through the bottom oftheframe', and through the major-portion of the erticalbar, a plate fixedat'the bottom of tlieframe, and'a'plate q fixed to the top ofthe cross base bar and the rod extending through said plate, a plate threadedlyengaged on the bottom extremity of th e rod andfi xed togtl el-b'asecrossbar; 4. An apparatusrof the class described I 5 parallel coextensive bars, casters fixed toand .supportingthesextremities of'the bars; a

cross bar between the surface of the first mentioned bars, and a frame, and means for revolubly mounting the frame on the last e mentioned" bar, said frame having a vertical bar-,therein, said means :for revolubly mounting the frameconrprising arod extending throughthe cross bar of the base, through the bottom of. the frame and throughthe major portion of the Vertical 5 i ba'r, aplate fixed at the bottom of the frame,

and a plate fixed to the toprof the cross base bar and the rodjextendingthrough saidplate, a plate threadedly engaged on the bottom 0 extremity of the rod" and fixed to the base cross bar, said framehaving window frame simulating casing members on both sides thereof and curtain hanging means mounted thereon'.
